Updating to conform to Vat II

Laszlo Toth: The man who tried to destroy the Pieta. While being dragged away he said “the statue was pre-Vatican II, and he was updating it to fit the new norms”. He was called crazy, but Cardinal Noe did it a few years later with the Altar of the Throne in St. Peters, and no one tried to stop him.

I believe he actually said “I am Jesus Christ, risen from the dead.” Now, if grandiose paranoid delusionals had been allowed to reorder Vatican liturgical furniture in this way, imagine what would have happened…

The statement that the nut said he was “updating the pieta to conform to VatII” is not true, he did not say that, it’s my lil’ol sense of humour. He was just nuts. The Cardinal Noe thing is true, he did indeed rip out the old altar to update.

Ken – that is true – I posted about this once – with photos. Great comparison with the man who vandalized the Pieta. if only many of the wreckovations in other churches were recognized as vandalism and the perpetrators punsihed!
